This three-hour private voyage includes aperitif and wine, with your skipper on hand to chat in Italian, English or French.

What to expect
You'll board at the dock and settle onto the catamaran as it motors out into open water. The skipper navigates slowly past the architectural gems dotting Como's shoreline—grand villas, terraced gardens, boathouses—whilst you sip wine and eat. The boat is stable and unhurried; there's no schedule pressure, just drifting and conversation. If you fancy it, grab a SUP board and paddle off the side. The three hours dissolve quietly. Restrooms are available, and water flows freely; the brunch rounds out the experience without fanfare.
Good to know
Bring moderate fitness; the boat requires balance to board and move about safely. Not suitable if pregnant, with spinal issues, or with cardiovascular concerns. Alcoholic drinks go only to those 18+; younger travellers get non-alcoholic alternatives. Parking nearby but public transport is your best bet. Tips aren't included.
